Common questions about COOLA Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 - Cucumber Is COOLA Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 - Cucumber reef safe? “Reef safe” isn’t a regulated label claim, so we answer by law instead. It is allowed under the sunscreen laws of Hawaii statewide, Aruba, the Northern Mariana Islands and Thailand's national parks, but not in Maui County, Hawaiʻi County (Big Island), the U.S. Virgin Islands, Palau and Guam. Labels like “Hawaii Act 104 compliant” only mean a product has no oxybenzone or octinoxate; they don’t make a chemical sunscreen legal on Maui or the Big Island. Is COOLA Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 - Cucumber legal in Hawaii? Under Hawaii’s statewide law (Act 104, which bans oxybenzone and octinoxate) it is allowed. In Maui County (Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi), which allows only mineral sunscreens, it is not allowed because it contains avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene, and Maui’s rule covers using it there, not just selling it. In Hawaiʻi County (the Big Island), which has a mineral-only rule for sales, it is not allowed. Oʻahu and Kauaʻi have no county rule, so only the statewide law applies there. Where is COOLA Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 - Cucumber not allowed? Maui County: it contains avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene, which are not allowed there. Hawaiʻi County (Big Island): it contains avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene, which are not allowed there. The U.S. Virgin Islands: it contains octocrylene, which is not allowed there. Palau: it contains octocrylene, avobenzone, homosalate and octisalate, which are not allowed there. Guam: it contains octocrylene, which is not allowed there. Does COOLA Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 - Cucumber contain oxybenzone? No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law. Being oxybenzone-free does not make it mineral: it still uses chemical UV filters. Is COOLA Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 - Cucumber a mineral or chemical sunscreen? Chemical. Its UV filters are avobenzone 1.75%, homosalate 2.5%, octisalate 1.5% and octocrylene 3.75%. Is COOLA Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 - Cucumber water resistant? Yes, for up to 40 minutes of swimming or sweating, according to its label. Reapply after 40 minutes in the water, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours.
